Lance Leipold’s Jayhawks, like Bret Bielema’s Illini, experienced a nice rebirth last season and both teams are looking to build off of it.īielema spoke about the quick turnaround at his post-game presser since the Illini will have to travel on Thursday. The former wideout Scott will certainly look to provide more moments like that against a Jayhawks squad that threw only eight interceptions last season and had a top-25 scoring offense in the nation. Sophomore defensive back Miles Scott had one of the biggest moments of the game last week with a pick-six to get the Illini back in the contest.
and Jer’Zhan Newton to be key factors in the game, and the secondary will also need to be at its best. For the Illini, it will be crucial for junior defensive linemen Keith Randolph Jr.

Similar to Illinois, Kansas had an ugly first half but still entered the second half with a lead. Bean threw for 276 yards and a pair of touchdown passes, only failing to complete six pass attempts out of 28. Both can run the ball effectively, which caused problems for the Illini defense against the Rockets.ĭevin Neal ran for 94 yards last week for the Jayhawks in their 48-17 drubbing of the Missouri State Bears. However Daniels was reported to be the starter going forward. The starter for the Jayhawks’ week one win was Jason Bean, who started due to the lack of practice time for Jalon Daniels. On the road for a Friday evening game, the Illini will not be able to get away with the same mistakes, especially with the 1-0 Kansas Jayhawks possessing the ability to utilize their quarterback’s legs. However ugly the performance was, the hosts pulled out a win over the reigning Mid-American Conference champions Toledo Rockets on a last-second field goal. The Illini (1-0) showed last week that they have the grit and grind attitude that teams need to win tight games.
